Description
This is an Original Used Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID (Model A2449), originally bundled with the 24-inch iMac (M1, 2021).
It delivers Apple’s low-profile typing experience with integrated Touch ID for secure authentication on supported Apple silicon Macs.
Some online sellers refer to this model as “Magic Keyboard 3.” Apple does not officially use that naming structure.
The correct identifier for this compact Touch ID version is Model A2449, which is the safest way to confirm compatibility.
The keyboard connects via Bluetooth and charges using a Lightning port.
It features a compact layout without a numeric keypad, designed for minimal desk setups and iMac users.
While it functions as a standard Bluetooth keyboard on many Macs, Touch ID authentication works only with Apple silicon models running supported macOS versions.
Please verify the model number on the underside before purchasing.
